Performer Bio’s

Dream Katz

One man performance by Cameron Groves (The Torrent). A cross between Suicide and Glass Candy – electronic beats, analog synths, moody vocals, and maybe even a violin thrown into the mix.

Times Neue Roman

Live from “The End” – the band’s Kensington Market (Toronto) basement studio – Times Neue Roman rock with a general tone and attitude of teenage immortality. Comprised of an award winning poet, Arowbe Arowbe Arowbe (Robert Bolton) and composer, Alexander The, TNR’s peerless ‘one of one’ sound has been called “nintendo-punk-rap,” and “post-rap” (although the band prefers “Rap Deco”) by media and supporters. Recent web and print media coverage includes: Disco Belle, Salacious Sounds, Winnie Cooper, 1LOVETO, Perfect Porridge, Chart Attack, NOW Magazine, NXEW, Exclaim!, Format Magazine, Montreal Mirror, CTV, Sound Pollution, CoCo and Lowe.

Since debuting at the Vancouver Art Gallery in 2008, Times Neue Roman have been rousing crowds at basement jams, rooftops,
auto-garages, house parties, shitty pubs, glitzy clubs, CMW, NXNE, the Juno Fest and out the back of a U-HAUL truck. They flaunt a live show complete with wild theatrics, reckless moshing, tribal percussion, live visuals and all of the bangers their fans are used to getting loose to.

Foxfire

Foxfire first emerged as the indie rock collective Foxfire Forest in 2005 and released a self-titled album in 2006. Garnering much attention from the local Toronto scene for their energetic live shows and ambitious set up, Foxfire Forest unfortunately ran its course in 2008 and emerged as a tighter, smaller band: Foxfire. After this transition, the group settled into a lineup of six young Toronto musicians; Alex Ralph, Anna Edwards, Neil Rankin, Hannah Krapvinsky, Joseph J. Elaschuk and Sean Dunal. Along with this final lineup change, the instrumentation also took on new facets, fully reflecting the band’s influences: disco, motown and rock and roll. Their exciting live shows have won over many hearts, seeing them open for local and international acts including MGMT, Yeasayer, The Whip and Land of talk. Foxfire have released two singles in the past year: “Change the Future” in August 2008 followed by “Love is not Enough” in April 2009. Both were exclusively available on a limited run of 100 CDr alongside several demos. The group is now working on recording a debut LP to be released fall 2009 with plans to tour North America after its completion.
